13. the Northern Spice Islands in Prehistory, from 40,000 Years Ago To 13 The Northern Spice Islands in prehistory, from 40,000 years ago to the recent past Peter Bellwood The previous 12 chapters have examined the results of our 1990s archaeological project in the Northern Moluccas from the perspectives of chronology, artefact sequences, animal remains, and human remains. The general goal has been to locate the Northern Moluccas within the Island Southeast Asian record of humanity since approximately 40,000 years ago. From start to finish, a number of significant questions have risen to the surface: a. What kind of hominins first settled the Oceanic (non-landbridged) islands of the Northern Moluccas, and when? b. Were these islands settled permanently by forager populations before the commencement of food production, or did these populations only utilise the smaller islands, such as Gebe, intermittently? c. Were marsupials translocated from the New Guinea region to the Northern Moluccas by human intention, or did these animals disperse naturally? d. What evidence exists within our data for interaction between the island societies of Southeast Asia (including the Moluccas) and western Oceania during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene, before the Neolithic? e. How do sites such as Uattamdi fit within the picture for Neolithic dispersal around 3300 years ago through Island Southeast Asia and into Oceania? Were there links with the Lapita archaeological culture in Island Melanesia and with the initial settlement of the Mariana Islands? f. What have been the traceable interactions between Austronesian-speaking and Papuan- speaking societies in the Northern Moluccas/New Guinea region during the past 3500 years, and especially the past 2000 years since the spice trade linking western and eastern Eurasia commenced? When did pottery making spread into the Papuan-speaking societies of Morotai and northern Halmahera? Furthermore, were the ‘Spice Islands’ actual sources of exported spices such as cloves around 2000 years ago, as a lot of rather loose historical inference inclines to inform us? First, let us examine chronology. In terms of standard archaeological terminology, four overall phases (Northern Moluccas Phases 1 to 4) can be recognised in the prehistory of the Northern Moluccas. The earliest record of a potential human presence comes from Golo Cave on Gebe, with a basal date of 36,350–35,001 cal. BP (Wk 4629). Beyond this followed many millennia of Palaeolithic occupation, possibly intermittent, with bone tools and edge-ground technology 212 The Spice Islands in Prehistory for shell (but not stone) adzes appearing towards the end of this phase; indeed, during the Early Holocene rather than the Late Pleistocene in terms of current chronology. We can call this first phase Northern Moluccas Phase 1, let us say from 40,000 to 3500/3000 years ago, with an intensification of cultural activity during the Early and Middle Holocene. A major change occurred associated with the oldest date of 3342 to 2971 cal. BP (ANU 7776) from Uattamdi, which marked the appearance of red-slipped pottery and the oldest shell ornaments found so far in the region. This second, Neolithic, phase apparently continued in Uattamdi until about 2000 BP, and is here termed Northern Moluccas Phase 2. The first appearances of cupreous and iron artefacts and glass beads ushered in a third, metal-using, phase (Northern Moluccas Phase 3), again at Uattamdi, by C14 date ANU 9322, 2136 to 1782 cal. BP. This Early Metal Phase also saw the first recorded appearances in the region of jar burial (Uattamdi), supine orientation for an inhumation burial (Golo Cave), and a spread of earthenware potting technology into nearby previously aceramic communities on Morotai and northern Halmahera (Tanjung Pinang, Aru Manara, Gorua). The Early Metal Phase continued onwards into the historical period (Northern Moluccas Phase 4), commencing in these islands in terms of direct written records with the arrival of the Portuguese in 1511 (the manuscript of Tomé Pires was written between 1512 and 1515; Cortesão 1944). One could perhaps also recognise a separate phase of importation of glazed ceramics from Chinese and other mainland sources during the early second millennium CE, but little such material was found during our excavations. To summarise these four phases, therefore, we have the following: Northern Moluccas Phase 1: from 40,000 to 3500/3000 BP, flaked stone and shell from the beginning, but with marsupials, bone tools, and edge-ground technology for shell adzes only appearing definitely in Holocene but pre-Neolithic contexts. Northern Moluccas Phase 2: 3500/3000 to 2000 BP, Neolithic red-slipped pottery, shell ornaments, and pig and dog bones (no data on human burials). Northern Moluccas Phase 3: 2000 to 500 BP, Early Metal Phase cupreous and iron artefacts, glass beads, jar burial (Uattamdi), skull burial (Tanjung Pinang), extended burial with cranial modification (Golo), spread of pottery into Morotai and Halmahera (see, on this, Ono et al. 2017, accepted), extirpation of marsupials, spice trade(?). Northern Moluccas Phase 4: 500 BP to recent, European contact, Asian trade ceramics. With this standard archaeological periodisation in the background, a number of important issues arise. Some can be debated fruitfully, others remain obscure, and many have been discussed in more detail in my newest book-length survey of the region (Bellwood 2017). Some outstanding questions What kind of hominin first settled the Oceanic (non-landbridged) islands of the Northern Moluccas, and when? With archaic hominins attested in Java and Flores by Middle Pleistocene times, and possibly also Sulawesi and Luzon by the Late Pleistocene, one might ask if they also reached the entirely sea-girt islands of eastern Wallacea, even allowing for Pleistocene fluctuations in sea level (Hope 2005; O’Connor et al. 2017). Unfortunately, Pleistocene lithic technology in Island Southeast Asia reveals nothing about the hominin status of the makers, so we can interpret very little of a taxonomic nature from the lithic record in Golo Cave at >36,000 years ago. Neither terra australis 50 13. The Northern Spice Islands in prehistory, from 40,000 years ago to the recent past 213 in Golo nor in other contemporary sites in Island Southeast Asia are there Pleistocene blade, microblade, or backed tools that might give the species game away and hint whether we are dealing with Homo erectus, dwarfed hominins related to Homo floresiensis, or Homo sapiens. The Pleistocene paintings in caves in Sulawesi and Borneo, the widespread terminal Pleistocene bone tools, and the eventual settlement of Australia and New Guinea by Homo sapiens at about 50,000 years ago or more would suggest that the first traceable Moluccans at 36,000 years ago were indeed Homo sapiens. But we cannot be sure, and no human remains in Moluccan sites are old enough to be of assistance. However, as Katherine Szabó has pointed out (in Szabó et al. 2007), the presence of modified shell items in the basal layers of Golo Cave suggests a potential presence of behaviourally modern Homo sapiens there, as opposed to an archaic hominin. But, without dated cave art and skeletons, a degree of uncertainty remains. We might also ask just when humans, modern or otherwise, might first have settled in the Northern Moluccas, noting that it is just as likely that Halmahera was settled initially from western New Guinea, via Gebe, as from any other source region to its west (Birdsell 1977; Kealy et al. 2017). New Guinea was certainly settled by 50,000 years ago (Summerhayes et al. 2010), but this need not mean that every small island in its vicinity was settled also at this time. Indeed, Golo and Wetef were both dug to bedrock, with a maximum date of only 36,000 years ago, so we cannot argue that older material lies unexcavated beneath. Gebe is such a small island that if people really did arrive long before 36,000 years ago, we might ask where they lived without leaving traces in any of the excavated caves and rockshelters on the island. All in all, human arrival at 36,000 years ago on Gebe is the best we can do at the moment, and a claim for anything older would be unwarranted. Were these islands settled permanently by forager populations before the commencement of food production, or did they utilise the smaller islands, such as Gebe, only intermittently? Only Golo and Wetef on Gebe Island have sufficient time depth for analysis of this question, given the absence of Pleistocene occupation within Tanjung Pinang on Morotai, and the very limited evidence for it from Daeo 2. Indeed, there is a possibility that humans did not occupy Morotai at all until after the Last Glacial Maximum, although this is purely a negative observation that could easily be overturned by future discoveries. The Wetef dates (Table 2.5) from Gebe certainly indicate a consistent human presence during the Holocene, as they do in Golo. But Wetef had rather limited Pleistocene occupation, and Golo has some obvious problems with the distribution of C14 dates. In Table 2.2 for Golo, I have shaded the dates that appear to give a coherent sequence, and I regard all the ‘rogue’ marine shell dates as perhaps reflecting disturbance due to the frequent caching of shell adzes in the soft dry floor of the cave. The three direct dates on the shell adzes themselves cannot be taken seriously as indicators of stratigraphic date, as discussed in Chapter 8. If the apparent rogue dates are ignored, then the Golo sequence between 30,000 and 13,000 years ago could suggest either extremely slow deposition, or even an occupation hiatus. At this point, the Wetef date series might come to the rescue, since they do indicate occupation in the lower levels dated to c. 23,000 BP (Table 2.5).

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Christopher R. Foertsch for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthropology presented on June 3, 2016. Title: Educational Migration in Indonesia: An Ethnography of Eastern Indonesian Students in Malang, Java. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ David A. McMurray This research explores the experience of the growing number of students from Eastern Indonesia who attend universities on Java. It asks key questions about the challenges these often maligned students face as ethnic, linguistic, and religious minorities exposed to the dominant culture of their republic during their years of education. Through interviews and observations conducted in Malang, Java, emergent themes about this group show their resilience and optimism despite discrimination by their Javanese hosts. Findings also reveal their use of social networks from their native islands as a strategy for support and survival. ©Copyright by Christopher R.

  • Management and Breeding of Birds of Paradise (Family Paradisaeidae) at the Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation
    Management and breeding of Birds of Paradise (family Paradisaeidae) at the Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation. By Richard Switzer Bird Curator, Al Wabra Wildlife Preservation. Presentation for Aviary Congress Singapore, November 2008 Introduction to Birds of Paradise in the Wild Taxonomy The family Paradisaeidae is in the order Passeriformes. In the past decade since the publication of Frith and Beehler (1998), the taxonomy of the family Paradisaeidae has been re-evaluated considerably. Frith and Beehler (1998) listed 42 species in 17 genera. However, the monotypic genus Macgregoria (MacGregor’s Bird of Paradise) has been re-classified in the family Meliphagidae (Honeyeaters). Similarly, 3 species in 2 genera (Cnemophilus and Loboparadisea) – formerly described as the “Wide-gaped Birds of Paradise” – have been re-classified as members of the family Melanocharitidae (Berrypeckers and Longbills) (Cracraft and Feinstein 2000). Additionally the two genera of Sicklebills (Epimachus and Drepanornis) are now considered to be combined as the one genus Epimachus. These changes reduce the total number of genera in the family Paradisaeidae to 13. However, despite the elimination of the 4 species mentioned above, 3 species have been newly described – Berlepsch's Parotia (P. berlepschi), Eastern or Helen’s Parotia (P. helenae) and the Eastern or Growling Riflebird (P. intercedens). The Berlepsch’s Parotia was once considered to be a subspecies of the Carola's Parotia. It was previously known only from four female specimens, discovered in 1985. It was rediscovered during a Conservation International expedition in 2005 and was photographed for the first time. The Eastern Parotia, also known as Helena's Parotia, is sometimes considered to be a subspecies of Lawes's Parotia, but differs in the male’s frontal crest and the female's dorsal plumage colours.

  • Local Trade Networks in Maluku in the 16Th, 17Th and 18Th Centuries
    CAKALELEVOL. 2, :-f0. 2 (1991), PP. LOCAL TRADE NETWORKS IN MALUKU IN THE 16TH, 17TH, AND 18TH CENTURIES LEONARD Y. ANDAYA U:-fIVERSITY OF From an outsider's viewpoint, the diversity of language and ethnic groups scattered through numerous small and often inaccessible islands in Maluku might appear to be a major deterrent to economic contact between communities. But it was because these groups lived on small islands or in forested larger islands with limited arable land that trade with their neighbors was an economic necessity Distrust of strangers was often overcome through marriage or trade partnerships. However, the most . effective justification for cooperation among groups in Maluku was adherence to common origin myths which established familial links with societies as far west as Butung and as far east as the Papuan islands. I The records of the Dutch East India Company housed in the State Archives in The Hague offer a useful glimpse of the operation of local trading networks in Maluku. Although concerned principally with their own economic activities in the area, the Dutch found it necessary to understand something of the nature of Indigenous exchange relationships. The information, however, never formed the basis for a report, but is scattered in various documents in the form of observations or personal experiences of Dutch officials. From these pieces of information it is possible to reconstruct some of the complexity of the exchange in MaJuku in these centuries and to observe the dynamism of local groups in adapting to new economic developments in the area. In addition to the Malukans, there were two foreign groups who were essential to the successful integration of the local trade networks: the and the Chinese.

  • Indigenous Knowledge and Practices for Marine Ecotourism Development in Misool, Raja Ampat, Indonesia
    INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICES FOR MARINE ECOTOURISM DEVELOPMENT IN MISOOL, RAJA AMPAT, INDONESIA By: Nurdina Prasetyo A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand February 2019 No matter how important local and national knowledge is within a specific spatial context, unless it is conveyed in English it has little chance to enter the global marketplace and be reproduced and recirculated. Somewhat ironically, given the desire to give voice to local and Indigenous perspectives, unless that voice can be spoken in English it is likely not to be heard. (Hall, 2013, p. 608) ABSTRACT This doctoral study examines the complexities of integrating Indigenous knowledge and practices into sustainable marine ecotourism development, with a focus on the case study of Misool, Raja Ampat, in West Papua Province, Indonesia. The research addresses the knowledge gaps on integrating Indigenous knowledge into marine ecotourism initiatives. Indigenous knowledge is often neglected as a key source of information, undervalued from the perspective of Western scientific knowledge, even though utilising Indigenous knowledge helps to increase the sustainability of development efforts and contributes to the empowerment of local communities. Literature on marine ecotourism shows an almost total absence of studies that draw from Indigenous knowledge, yet, local community participation is underlined as one of the most important factors in sustainable marine ecotourism development. This thesis thus aims to contribute new insights on how Indigenous knowledge can be optimally integrated or applied in marine ecotourism development. Misool is one of the islands in Raja Ampat which attracts scuba divers and marine tourists from around the world, due to its abundance marine life.
